A little fun for the unplugged among us. Name one thing from your Matrix and other people can say if they heard of it in theirs. Maybe find a little common ground.

I'll start: New York City.

Ahh the good old "where are you from?" I know it well.

At least we're somewhat buffered from it here.

Yeah everyone skips right past questioning your ethnic background and dives into the nitty gritty like what childhood trauma did the Matrix saddle you with.

[scission]

Or what Matrix were you saddled with in general.

Kinda makes you wonder how moved on everybody is if they're so fixated on it huh?

[scission]

Our lives are rather defined by their existence, regardless of whether we can "move on" from our own personal experiences or not.

[hacker]

Are they? If that existence was never really real to begin with?

[scission]

The machines are real. The plots where they grow us, the electricity farms where they keep us and stream the Matrixes into our heads. All of that is very real, and our lives here are as defined by that as they ever were plugged in.
